Harworth Group has successfully obtained outline planning consent from Amber Valley Borough Council for the development of 1.5 million sq ft of Grade A Industrial & Logistics space and up to 300 new homes at its Cinderhill development in Derbyshire. The majority of the site is owned or controlled by Harworth through a combination of freehold ownership and a Planning Promotion and Marketing Agreement (PPMA). Since taking control of the site in 2018, Harworth is the first developer to unlock its potential.
Situated in Derbyshire, adjacent to the A38, the Cinderhill site has a rich history of industrial uses, including an iron foundry and opencast coal extraction. The Group’s proposal encompasses land remediation, site servicing, and the installation of high-quality infrastructure to facilitate the construction of Grade A commercial units. The regeneration of this site is expected to generate over 1,000 new jobs and has been meticulously designed to incorporate infrastructure that supports sustainable living, including cycle paths, footways, and bus routes.
Lynda Shillaw, Chief Executive of Harworth Group, stated, “The receipt of planning at Cinderhill marks a significant milestone for us. This complex site required careful masterplanning and collaboration with various stakeholders over the years. This achievement showcases our expertise and successful track record in securing planning and revitalizing former industrial land. We eagerly anticipate contributing to the delivery of a premium, sustainable scheme in a region with a strong manufacturing and logistics presence, where Harworth continues to experience high demand for our serviced land products.”
